Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Adult polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is familial, bilateral, asymptomatic until adulthood, and presents with hematuria/hypertension unilateral involvement is rare. This distinguishes ADPKD's bilateral nature, critical for genetics, contrasting with unilateral misconceptions.

Question 2 of 5

Renin secretion is increased by the following, Except:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Renin rises with hypovolemia, DCT hyponatremia (macula densa), and sympathetic input not PCT (no sensing role). This distinguishes renin triggers, vital for blood pressure regulation, contrasting with tubular mislocation.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Struvite (magnesium ammonium phosphate) crystals appear rectangular (coffin-lid shape) under microscopy classic infection stone marker (e.g., urease bacteria).
